Portrait of a man with dark hair and a beard, wearing a dark-colored robe or coat with red trim on the cuffs.

The table to his left holds various items including papers, a pair of glasses, and a decorative object. He sits on a red chair. The background features a wall with a framed painting to the left and a shovel or spade on the right. The overall setting suggests a study or workspace. The painting is by Eastman Johnson.
